Ever imagined an iPod running on power generated from your heart beat?. It will soon be a reality. A team of scientists at Gorgia Institute of Technology under Dr.Zhong Ling Wang is using a nano generator using nano-wire made from zinc oxide tapping energy from heart beats during body movements. Commercial production of this nano generator is expected by 2016. Detailed report on page http://www.takepart.com/news/2011/03/30/i-nanogenerators-you-heartbeat-could-power-your-ipod

Nature is the best source of energy. The sunlight, water, wind etc. pouring in harmless supply in abundance. The solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectric all are coming under green energy. But the problem so far has been that man went after artificial generation of power like nuclear, potentially harmful and dangerous to his own existence. Scientists in their efforts to harness natural source have made a break through lately. A team of Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has made an artificial leaf of the size and shape of a playing card made from silicon . This thinner device when immersed in a gallon of water exposed to sunlight can provide electricity sufficient enough to the need of a house. Water contains sufficient quantity of hydrogen to meet the energy need of the world, but separation of it from accompanied oxygen has been a major problem so far. But this device enables to do so without much expense, splits water into hydrogen and oxygen with the help of sunlight and then hydrogen is stored in a fuel cell. Let us wait for its commercial launching of this dream project.

Heart gets additional protection from high altitude living. According to Benjamin Honigman, MD Professor of Emergency Medicine and Director of Altitutde Medicine clinic "Lower oxygen levels turn on certain genes and we think those genes may change the way heart muscles function. They may also produce new blood vessels that create new highways for blood flow into the heart." In his opinion Cancer risk too is reduced due to living in mountain regions due to better synthesis of vitamin D.

Researchers have succeeded in producing sperm in laboratory by culturing stem cells. This is a great break through in the field of male infertility. Youngsters who have to undergo treatments for ailments in testicles particularly testicular cancer can take precaution by taking cells out and preserved for a future date and have their own children when required. Dr Takehiko Ogawa, an urologist at Yokohama City University in Japan and his team has conducted the experiment successfully on mouse. Details of the story appears on Daily Telegraph page http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/8400927/Test-tube-sperm-grown-in-lab-could-cure-male-infertility.html

different parts of world.One of such
videosyou can findcirculated on You Tube (see the link)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_096cj4ZLMQSuper
Moon is a very rare occasion Moon coming nearest to Earth. SinceMoon during its orbit cycles changes its
position stronger tidal waves are noticed, whether seismic activities are
resulted out of it is not confirmed yet. To find out what is the reality, I
searched out the astrologer and found out Astrologer Richard Nolle had predicted super moon way back in 1970.Astrological predictions are correct based on
scientific approach and one can rely on it. So please don't go after rumors. Find out scientific facts yourself. You may visit his website to know exactly what are the predictions www.astropro.com

Geraldine Botte, a professor chemical and biomolecular engineering Ohio University has developed a technology to generate hydrogen from urine. Two compounds amonia and urea can be the source of hydrogen gas separated out through electrolysis and further used in fuel cells to generate electricity. If the idea works out it is not only human urine but animal urine can also be a source of energy.
